Installing or Replacing a Power Supply

You can install or replace a power supply from the back panel without removing the
Xserve from the rack. If the Xserve has two power supplies, they are hot-swappable;
the Xserve continues to operate using only one supply while the second is removed.

Important:

Install power supplies with a rating of at least 750 watts. The power supplies

from some earlier Xserves are rated at less than 750 watts.

To remove a power supply:

1

Unplug the power cord from the power supply you are removing.

2

Pull the handle to release the power supply and slide it out of the bay.

WARNING:

The power supplies in a running Xserve might be hot.

Pull the handle to unlatch the
power supply and remove it.

To add a second power
supply, use the notch in the
power supply bay cover to
rotate the cover outward.
Remove and save the cover.
